A compound sentence contains two or more main clauses, which are independent clauses that can stand alone as complete sentences. These clauses are typically joined by coordinating conjunctions like "and," "but," or "or." For example, in the sentence "I wanted to go for a walk, but it started to rain," there are two main clauses: "I wanted to go for a walk" and "it started to rain."
Compound sentence
simple sentence
This is called a compound complex sentence. The main clauses are usually connected by a conjunction. The subordinate clause is connected to a main clause by an adverb.
A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses, and no dependent (or subordinate) clause(s). The independent clauses that make up a compound sentence may be connected with a coordinating conjunction, conjunctive adverb, or semicolon.
a complete subject and a complete predicate
The structure that contains two or more independent clauses and one or more subordinate clauses is known as a compound-complex sentence. This type of sentence combines the features of both compound sentences, which connect independent clauses, and complex sentences, which include subordinate clauses. For example, "Although it was raining, I went for a run, and my friend joined me" illustrates this structure.
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. There are two main types of clauses: independent (can stand alone as a sentence) and dependent (cannot stand alone as a sentence). Clauses can be combined to form complex sentences, with dependent clauses adding more information to independent clauses.
A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses connected by a conjunction.
These are called compound clauses. An example: [I went to the shop] and [I bought a loaf of bread].
No, a complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. A sentence containing two independent clauses is called a compound sentence.
A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses and does not include any subordinate clauses. For example, "I wanted to go for a walk, but it started to rain." Each clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, making the structure simple yet effective in conveying multiple ideas.
A clause is a group of words that forms part of a sentence and has a subject and predicate. A principal clause makes a statement. It can stand alone like a simple sentence. A compound sentence contains two or more principal clauses usually joined by a co-ordinate conjunction.For example, "I toss the food and the seagulls scramble".
